Commentary: Line 5. The prayer formula is not introduced by the conjunction f-. It could have been a mason's mistake. In addition to that, the verb rḍ, which is usually placed immediately after the conjunction f- and before of the rest of the prayer, has been written in this text at the end of the prayer.
